ADRIENNE'S POV
It was lunch period and I was at the cafeteria, seated with Kate and Aileen. Christian had also agreed with Kate to sit with us for lunch along with two other guys- his friends from the basketball team.
Both guys were tall, one a black American and the other, a blonde with hazel eyes. They were good looking and Aileen seemed to have been smitten by them, as she kept smiling to everything they said like a possessed little girl.
I had totally ignored my promise to meet with Alec after Literature class ended and as a result, I've been avoiding him all day but for how long. I just sat there, picking on my French fries as I try to pay attention to the discussion ongoing between Christian and Caleb, the black American. James, the blonde with really cute eyes performs a common trick in which he removed a coin from behind Aileen's ear.
"That's one lame trick" I say while laughing at his now
ADRIENNE'S POVI had Chemistry class next which luckily for me, both Aileen and Kate took too, the only twist being the fact that I was partnered with Aileen. And this always got Kate pouting, every time we had practical because she was paired with Emily, the captain of our swimming team, and as you know it, Christian's ex-girlfriend.We enter the chemistry lab and settle down, when I notice a familiar face. It was one of Alec's friend and beside him was the two time winning prom queen, Lexi.Well how did I know this when I just moved here you ask, Aileen feeds me with all the gossip I need to know. She never takes a break. We make eye contact for a brief moment before our teacher walked in."Is everything okay between you and Kate?" Aileen whispers in my ear.I knew she wasn't going to drop the issue until she had all the answers needed."I just feel I'm no longer welcomed there"
ADRIENNE'S POVI recognize the voice and spun around quickly."Jeez, not cool Alec" I say as a sense of relief rushes over me."Are you always this creepy?" I continue talking when he says nothing."Did I scare you?" He asks with a smile.Such an asshole."Who knew the great Alec could actually smile" I say not fighting back my already showing smile.We walk side by side towards the exit of the building not saying anything."So, do you always practice till late?" I ask breaking the silence."Most times, when I have to clear my head. I use it to escape from my world." He replies honestly.Now that went well. I was actually expecting one of his snarky comments."What's your world like?" I ask, my curiousness getting the better part of me."It's surrounded with lies and betrayal." He answers quietly. I turn m
ADIRENNE'S POVI was still staring at the hands stretched in front of me. I must have saved a generation in my past life, maybe that's why I've been meeting hot dudes these days.He was the same guy I saw during chemistry practical but looked a little different from earlier. Maybe this was as a result of the change in his clothes or the fact that I was staring at him from a closer point of view."You must be Adrienne, cappuccino girl right?" With that I come out of my imagination.He must have noticed how long I dazed off admiring his features, seeing the triumphant smirk on his face. Maybe he was no different from Alec. They were friends after all."Uhhm..." I say rubbing my hand at the back of my neck, getting a little nervous."So if you done checking me out, do you mind heading inside?" He smiles this time around.I turn around and press the doorbell not wantin
ADRIENNE'S POVIt was 6:00am in the morning, as I lay on my bed while staring at the ceiling lost in thought. It was the weekend and all I could think of was resting and spending all the time to myself but my plans just had to change.I had promised the girls to hang out with them and at the same time, Derek chose my Saturday as the day I get to live as he wishes. And here I am, staring at the ceiling trying to comprehend how this day was going to play out.I finally decide to head for the kitchen and grab some bottle of water to store in my room as I often get dehydrated. It was still early so there being less kitchen staffs there when I arrived. I open the fridge I was directed to and grab about four bottles when I hear a low huff behind me.I turn around to find Derek dressed in grey joggers with a black sleeveless top, showing off his muscles. He had a gray hand band on his left hand and his jet-blac
ADRIENNE’S POV“Did you go to the gym with Derek” Alec asks from behind. I could just always feel his aura whenever he’s nearby and now wasn’t an exception.“What does it look like?” I ask back not ready to play it cool. I guess I was in the mood for some bickering this morning. The day was already bright, so I decided to head back to the dinning for breakfast rather than changing and coming back down the stairs. Call me lazy, but that was definitely how I felt at the moment.“Any plans today?” I ask Alec while dishing myself from already served pancakes. I grab a white cup with little heart design on it and fill it with milk, as I settle down to dig in.“Why do you care?” he says a little snarky with a glint in his green eyes.“Trust me, I don’t. I barely try to pu
ADRIENNE’S POVI stare at Nick’s hopeful eyes and desperately wanted to give him the answer he searched for, but that wasn’t happening.“Sorry Nick, I promised to go with the girls, Aileen and Kathie” I answer with a sad expression but that wasn’t the case for him. His expression still seemed hopeful, like he had another plan.I kept giving him a quizzical look, this time he’s giving me a mysterious smile.“What did you do Nick?” I feel like he played dirty.“Since it’s still Derek’s day, I got him to tell me to tell you to accompany me to the party. So that’s literally like his wish.” He says now smiling brightly, given the hilarious expression on my face.“Nick! That’s cheating. Well played” I say while standing up
ADRIENNE’S POVOur lips were still locked against each other, and I could feel his hot breath on my skin. He tilts his head, nudging my lips open with his, and I sigh in pleasure as he deepens the kiss. I was starting to enjoy the kiss but something felt different. The kiss was beginning to feel forceful and commanding and as it deepened, I knew this wasn’t meant for me. It was like, he was trying to get at someone and I could definitely feel the anger in his every move. I break off our contact and take a step back, just to find his eyes locked with a red hair lady who had a red strapless gown with white flower pattern on, which stopped halfway from her knees. She had a red wedge on, so I knew she was the center of attention some minutes ago.Finally accepting the kiss wasn’t meant for me, I was starting to feel my blood boil from within. What just happened.“What was
ADRIENNE’S POVI was seated on the opposite side of Kathie and Christian as my mind wanders off. Nick had told me earlier that he wasn’t perfectly sure Alec remembered all that had happened Saturday night and I couldn’t help but wonder to what extent he remembers. I mean we had literally shared a kiss and it wouldn’t be fair on my part to remember that moment all alone.After Saturday night, I had avoided Alec like a plague. I guess I couldn’t bring myself to have a conversation with him yet or even stay within the same space without my eyes drifting back to those wicked lips of his.He did show up for some of the classes we took together and whenever we made eye contacts, he had a questioning look on his face. But I, for now, didn’t have any answer to them. So I just stare at my food and pick on it, which was odd of me since fries was one of my favorite.
